Chapter 24

Leo's POV
I immediately started the car after saying goodbye and got out of Zara's house. Her mother was still standing watching the car move. While looking at her smile as if she got a comfortable impression from me. But I had to immediately dismiss it because I didn't want my big mission to be hindered. I had to stay focused and straight on my original plan. I shouldn't be tempted by a human child. Okay, I'll try to harden myself to stay in a defensive position.
After traveling back to the hospital I arrived. After asking the officer, I immediately walked to Zara's inpatient room which had been diverted. I immediately handed over these entrusted items. But I saw that inside there were not only Zara and her father. But there was Orion inside too. Making me suddenly feel hot and awkward to go inside. I could only stand behind the entrance door outside. With the luggage that I was still carrying, I was like a fool who didn't know what to do. Why am I like this? I always try to dismiss these feelings for Zara. But still, at certain moments I always find myself weak and find it difficult to hold back these feelings.
Honestly, this time I really feel jealous of Orion. Especially after knowing and hearing clearly from Zara's mother that Zara will be matched by her father with Orion. Hearing it, my heart almost burst. I really don't want to lose to the human named Orion or other male humans. I have to excel in getting Zara's attention and heart. Wait! Why am I so obsessed with Zara? Ahh, I don't know; I feel confused with myself this time.
Suddenly I was surprised by the nurse who was about to come in to give Zara the medicine she had to take tonight.
"Doctor Leo, why are you just standing in front of the door? Why doesn't the doctor come in?"
"Huh? Emm.. not good, people are visiting inside."
"Oh, if that's the case, excuse me, doc, I'm going in."
I moved sideways so that the nurse could enter Zara's inpatient room. I waited outside until Orion really went home.
A moment later I heard Orion say goodbye to Zara and her father. I immediately felt happy about it. Because after Orion left I would be able to enter the room and meet Zara.
When Orion opened the door from the inside. I immediately hid so as not to bump into him. After he had walked far enough out of this room, I came out of my hiding place. But suddenly Zara's father came out and I hid again because I was too lazy to see him. I don't know why I feel like he doesn't like me. So when I have to face him I actually feel uncomfortable.
I immediately went into the room. Inside, there was Zara, who was being changed by the nurse's IV flask. After finishing changing the IV flask. Then the nurse gave Zara medicine to drink now and told her some medicines that she had to take tonight at a certain time.
After finishing her duties, the nurse came out of the room again. Leaving me and Zara alone in the room. Now there were only the two of us and I started to approach her. Approaching Zara on her bed.
"Where's mom?"
"Your mother didn't come here."
"Huh, why?"
"Zena didn't want to be left alone at home."
"Huh, what's wrong with Zena?"
"She was caught menstruating for the first time when she was in the car earlier. She said she was afraid of being home alone. That's why Zena forbade her mother from coming back here with me."
"Huh, Zena's menstruating for the first time?"
"Yes, that's right, why?"
"No, I'm just worried that something bad will happen to her. Moreover, this rare phenomenon is currently happening a lot. I'm worried that it will happen to my sister." Full of anxiety in her face and tone of voice.
I started to stay silent because I felt bad. In fact, I was going to make Zena the next target. But when Zara said that, I felt guilty. But I couldn't possibly give up on my intention. Zena was still fresh and I needed her ovum.
A moment later I started asking about Zara's father's whereabouts. Because I was worried that he would suddenly come here and catch me here with Zara. On the other hand, I also intended to divert Zara's focus so that she wouldn't think too much about her sister. Besides, I felt that Zara's father had been gone from this room for quite a long time. He didn't come back here so I felt curious and wanted to ask him so that it would be clear and my curiosity would be answered so that it wouldn't disturb my thoughts. I could be calmer here. And I could estimate when I should leave this room.
"Oh yeah, doc, where is your father? I didn't see him here."
"Didn't we meet outside?"
I shook my head.
"Earlier, my father went out, Doctor Leo came in here. I thought you two met earlier."
"No, where was your father going?"
"He said he was going to the canteen but I said the canteen must be closed at this hour. So it seems he was looking for food outside the hospital area. He said he was hungry; he had been waiting for Mother to bring food for too long."
"Oh yeah, this, sorry for the long wait. I'll keep it on the table here." I also put the food supplies from Zara's mother on the table.
"It took a long time because I stopped by the mini market in the middle of the road to buy sanitary napkins. Then when I got home it took a long time again. Because I was waiting for your mother to finish preparing the supplies. Then your mother cooked first and we ate together. So that's the chronology until I just came here now."
"Um, yeah, it's okay."
"Yeah, I just felt bad if I refused your mother's offer to eat together."
"Um, it's okay, that's how it should be."
I feel like Doctor Zara is a bit different now than usual. It's a little different and seems gentle. Is it possible because she's not feeling well? Or is it because we're quite close? Or is it because there's no one else here besides the two of us? Umm, I don't know, there are many possibilities that could be the reason why she's like this.
I started to feel that Zara's father would be back in the room soon. I started to rush to say goodbye to Zara. Even though he had held me back, I gave him a reasonable reason so that he could accept it and let me go from here right now. Finally, I managed to make him believe my reason. I started walking to leave him alone in this room.
